Since these small batteries are a choking hazard, many companies warn buyers to keep them away from small children. At least Duracell goes one step further and coats the batteries with a bittering agent that tastes absolutely awful so young children will spit them out. It’s a good idea, but the bitterant can interfere with the electrical connection.
Two popular trainers on Apple Fitness+ have unexpectedly announced their departure from the service, which will celebrate its second anniversary since launching this December.
Some believe an over liberal use of the term “podcast” is to blame for any confusion. “With the rise of the podcast, there’s more content that is positioning itself as a podcast,” says Wilson. In the pre-podcast age, a content creator might have made an educational video about the first world war. “Now, someone’s going to call that a [video] podcast, whereas five years ago it was just a video on the war – or a vlog,” he says.
But video podcasting could open up a new horizon for creators. Allen says fans tell him they prefer to watch his content. “This [medium] allows them to see my very real emotions come out as I take them through the story that we’ve spent countless hours preparing,” he says. “Video also gives me another layer to play with… I can just throw some visuals on screen to support whatever I’m saying.”
A podcast is a podcast because I can play it in any podcast apps that I fancy. Different podcast apps have different designs: one may focus more on sound quality, while another may focus more on smart playlists. Yet another may focus more discoverability. And I can listen to any podcasts on any podcast apps.
The other advantage, at least to me, is the ability to combine different podcasts into a single playlist that I can listen from morning to night without switching apps.
If your audio program can only be played only in your app, then it is not a podcast.
